Long training sessions drain more than just energy—they deplete the nine essential amino acids your muscles need for protein synthesis and recovery. Your body can't make these amino acids on its own, and when they drop during a long ride or run or weight session, you're working against yourself: muscle protein breakdown accelerates while your ability to repair and adapt slows down. Transparent Labs Intra EAA delivers 6,700mg of all nine essential amino acids in optimal ratios, plus 2,000mg taurine for mental focus, 1,250mg betaine for cellular hydration, and a complete electrolyte blend. This formula keeps muscle protein synthesis elevated during training—not just after—so every mile builds fitness instead of just creating fatigue. What Makes Intra EAA Different Complete EAA Profile with Amino9® – All nine essential amino acids (not just the three BCAAs) in clinically validated ratios optimized for muscle protein synthesis. Studies show free-form EAAs stimulate protein synthesis more effectively than intact protein, and the complete profile ensures no amino acid becomes limiting during translation. Rapid Absorption for In-Workout Use – Free-form amino acids don't require digestion like protein powder. They hit your bloodstream fast—exactly what you need when training is actively breaking down muscle tissue and you can't wait 90 minutes for a protein shake to digest. Performance-Enhancing Stack – ElevATP® boosts cellular energy production by 42% within the first dose. Betaine supports cellular hydration and power output. L-tyrosine maintains mental focus during late-workout fatigue. This isn't just recovery support—it's in-session performance optimization. How It Works During endurance training, your body oxidizes branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) for fuel, depleting the amino acid pool available for muscle protein synthesis. When any of the nine essential amino acids becomes limiting, protein synthesis stalls—even if you have adequate amounts of the other eight. Intra EAA prevents this bottleneck by providing all nine EAAs continuously during training, maintaining elevated muscle protein synthesis rates even as you're actively exercising. The added electrolytes (415mg) and coconut water powder (1,000mg) manage hydration status, while Astragin™ enhances amino acid absorption at the intestinal level. The result: your muscles stay fueled for adaptation throughout the entire training session, not just during the post-workout window. How to Use Transparent Labs Intra EAA Mix 1 scoop with 12-16 oz of water and sip throughout hard workouts lasting 90+ minutes, or consume immediately post-workout if training is shorter.
